RIVERSIDE TO HAVE FOUR NEW STORES Other Improvements Being Planned for That Fast Growing Suburb of River- head Village — Southamp- ton Town Board Meets Here. Riverside received another visit from the Southampton Town Board last Saturday. It was the matter of improvirg and 1 widening the miain road in that progressive suburb of Riverhead , 'but which lies in the town- ship of Southampton. This is not a new matter , but has been brought un and considered several .times , sur- veyed and resurveyed , and oitu citi- zen who lives on the to-be-improved street claims it has been surveyed twenty times in twenty years . As far as could be learned Satur- day nothirg definite has ever been done , and the excitement of this oc- casion was caused as the result of an improvement which Judge Ray - mon d H. Vail claims in 'front of his- property on the west end , of the street in front of his garage property. A curb and sidewalk has been croclo l , which to the casual observer looks as though it was \ out of tune \ with the rest of the sidewalk laid on Uir: street. If the curb and sidewalk arc. continued it will alter to a great ex- tent the property fe n ces I - MW existing. Howe ver , most of I ho pro perty owners see m to think Ih. -il. this move will settle once ami forever when; the road line* will eventually ' ;c es- tablished. On Wednesday a delegation of I he mosl interested citizens went to the Town Board meeting In ascertain if any ' ami what action wa' going to be taken. Tin dobato waxed warm at times and the final outcome, was that. Superintendent f>owrx agreed to hav. - the two different surveyors who have been working on the proposition diiv; stakes m that the property owners can sec exactly, how much , if any of their property will .be takcii. - U is probable that another meeting of the Town Board will be hol d in Riverside , and «ive those most, direct- ly interested which survey they pre- fer. One will .make a straight high- way the full length of the main street, to \ the Quoguc road. By making tho road straight it is claimed b y th' . 1 property owners that it will set their homes \ cock-eyed\ Lo the tstrc 't. 'Should the straight road survey be adopted , it will move .fences and ol> structions on both sides of the street. If the survey as made by Eng ineer Halsey is adopted , it is claimed that it will onl y hit fences on both ends of the street. However , the residents- there seem to bo unanimously of the opinion that a four-rod road should be accepted . 'During the debate oft the question , MRS. BARNES SELLS CORNER PROPERTY Has Signed Contract with M. M. Lipetz , Who Will Improve Property with Stores and Apartments. Through J. Fred Dugan , of .. Outra n Brothers , realty brokers, 'M rs. \Walter \ ¦ ' . Barnes has contracted to sell her tenant house property on the south- east ^ ' corner of Roanoke avenue and First street , to M. M. Lipetz , of Riv- erhead. It is understood Mr. Lipet!! will improv e the.property with stores ¦ mil apartments. Mrs . ' Karnes ha* held the property at $15 , 000 and it is reported that the contract price is not far fro m that figure. This is the only i'orncr iii the business district of Riverhead that was in the. market that has not been sold. Bootlegging Investi gation Reveals No Ta ngible Evid ence at Hearing m \ i Dickerson , Custodian of $250 , 000 Worth of Seized Liquor , Cannot be Found—Jerry O'Keefe , Former State Trooper Also Missing—Del- madge is the Only Hijacker to Testify—Miss tJelen Smith Refuses to Say How , and Where She Obtained Packard Roadster—Pleas- ants Said He Was in New Y ork When Shooting Occurred. No one in Suffolk County accepted the invitation extended by District Attorney George W. Hildrclh , and United States District Attorney Ral ph C. Gree ne to anyone hay ing information in relation to the viola- tions of the national prohibition law and the bribing and corruption in con- nection with bootlegging in any sec- tion of \ the county. This invitation was contained in a joint statement issued by these officials following a conference in Riverhead last Friday in which Sheriff Amzn W. Higg-< par- iicipnted. ' - . 'Owing to the fact that the air has been filled with gossip and rumors of bribes being paid to law enforcement agents by the bootleggers it was be- lieved that a number of persons rep- resenting law enforcement organiza- tions might appear at the hearing in the \John Doe \ proceeding held in the grand jury room of the County Court House in Riverhead Monday morning and tell what they kne w of the situation. Persons who had not been subpoenaed not only gave the investigation a wide berth , but sev- eral for whom subpoenaes were issued could , not be found. The testimony given By \ the five\ witnesses examined at the 'hearing by District Attorney Hildreth and U. S. District Attorney Greene gave -no testimony of a tang- ible or legal character concerning the bootlegging activities at Montauk and the identity of (he men who fired urmn the hijacker:, remains <is much .if a niy-tery us biTo iv. the hearing. Some of the witness- , appare n tl y had nut ' .maid that the Federal prohibi- limi law had over ln-cn violated in the . \Sunrise Coui.ty. - ' Every person ! «ho icslilifcd had to be sworn and no immunity was granted lu anyone. It is ,<aid that many persons who had been circulating rumors about boot- leasing and bri be* being paid by bootleg-j o have bee n ke.cpi.ig very iiui ' er sinre the investigation began for the reas on ' .hat they arc fearful they might be served with sub poena to appear and give the source of their information. District Attorney Hildreth and U. S. Disfj ict Attorney Greene made it clear that they could not proceed to prosecute cases merel y on rumor and gossip, as the law required them to have legal evidence , be fore they could - i-k foi warrants and in issuing the invitation til the public to co-o p- erate with them by furnishing what- eve rycvidence they might have these officials believed they migh t clean up the situation. District Attorney Hil- dreth emphasized the fact that a person who took a bribe was-equally as guiity as the one who gave it. Will'im Delmadge , the \ rookie \ Ststc Trooper, who was a member of the Montauk hijacking party and who was discharged from the service the following day, w.is one of the prin- cipal witnesses at the hearing un Monday. He staled that he and Jerry O Kecfe. a former Statu Troope r , who was stationed at Southampto n for a short time; Frank and Thomas Smith and William Shabe r , of Patchogue , had gone to Montauk to obtain the liquor from Frank Dicker.son , care- taker of the Benson estate and he told of the shooting and other de- tails of the affair. Delmadge said that juat before he and his four as- sociates were shot at that he heard the names of \Capt. Walker \ and Pleasants \ mentioned hv members of the part y of ten or twelve who fired upon the hijackers. Delmadge stated that he and the nlher member* of the hijacking party were, compelled to get out of their cars and get down on their knees and that they pleaded with the bootleg- gers not to harm them. One of tho men whom Delmadge .said he believed to be \Capt. Walker , \' told him to take off the coat of his uniform and his shield and to hand over his auto- matic , which \Capt. Walker \ declared would make nice souvenirs . Lawrence Pleasants , of Sag Har- bor , who appeared at the hearing un- der ¦ subpoena , produced hotel bills showing that he was in New York on the morning the shooting occurred and had been in the city since the (Continued \ on page 2) ludgo Vail said that he intended to erect four more stores on his prop- erty and that all we re rented , al- though nothing had ibeen done as yet on their construction . This is interesting news to the boomers of that suburb. * This coming Saturday at noon an electric fire whistle , will be tested on the fire house on Peconic avenue , Riverhead. Chief Nathan T. Corwin is giving notice of the test so th at persons hearing' the whistle will not become alarmed and think there is a fire. Riverhead has long needed^a dependable fire siren. In all other respects the department has equip- ment that is the equal of any in Suf- folk County. TO TEST FIRE WHISTLE HERE THIS SATURDAY Deposits the First Day Total $263 , 000 — Would Have Been Much ' Higher * Mad Peop le Generally Hav6 Known Institution Was Open. — No bank in a rural section has Ir.id a more auspicious opening than that of the Long Island State Bank , River- head, which began -business in its temporary quarters in the Long Island House building Monday morning. Al- though no announcement could be • made, in the newspapers last week of the actual day- th e insti tution was to be opened- because the charter . was not received until last Saturday, the deposits on the' . first day totalled $253000 , , which is a remarkable showing. 'Substantial deposits were also received on Tuesday,. - Wednesday and Thursday. \ \ , \ The new bank is already proving to b jS- . . very popular with the people gen- erally not only ol Riverhead and vicinity, but in all sections of Suffo 'l County. It is the aim of. the directors to make it a county-wide institution and President John S. Howe and the other officials of the bank are pre- pared to extend every courtesy to its present and \ .prospective patrons . Pour beautiful floral pieces adorn the windows of the bank. The horse- shoe of . carnations is_ the gift of Mrs . H. ! W; 'J>onaid;™ of.Hampton .Bays , wife of one of the directors; the large basket of roses , yellow lilies and other flowers was sen t by the Bank of the Manhattan Co., of New York , a special messenger bringing it all the way out , to Riverhead from Fleisch- man , the florist , New York.

NEW BANK MAKES REMARKABLE SHOWING NEW TELEPHONE CENTRAL IN RIVERH EAD OPENS SATURDAY Plan t is the Largest on Long Island Outside of Greater New York and Will be> the ^Toll Center of Eastern Long Island—Will H ave Common Battery Type of Service Which Eliminates Necessity of \Ringing Central\ -- Description of Plant. The new central office of the New York Telephone Company in the Ben- jamin building. Mai n street and Roapoke avenue , Riverhead , which will contain switchboard facilities not only to serve local telephone users but to make Riverhead a toll service cente r for Eastern Long Inland , will he opened Saturday, April 25 at 8:30 p. m. According to the telephone com- pany ' s loca l commercial manager , F. Lightbody, the local switchboard will start with a capacity for serving 3 , 000 telephone lines which should be sufficient to met ail local service re- quirements fin- -some year-. t<i i-nme . The toll section of the office will have 200 direc t trunk lines to central offi- . -es in Long Island and the metropolitan district , affording adequate service nn toll and long distance calls, not only to any point in the - territory served by (he New York company, but to any point in the United'States and uvea Canada vr 'Cuha . The use of the telephone has grown rapidly in recent years , the increase of toll and long distance communica- tion both for business and .social pur- poses being particularly marked and the telephone, company ' s : decision to make the Riverhead office a toll center serving Kasterh Long Island is \ the direct result of this traffic ¦ develop- ment. The switchboard facilities for hand- ling both local and long distance calls are all in the one central office , and of the 23 operating positions at the switchboard , 7 will serve telephone users in Riverhead , while the others will be used for handling tol l and long distance calls. The new office occupies , about 4 , 800 square feet J)n two . floors of the Bcn- Tamin building. The power plant and battery room for the central office are installed in the basement , while the other space not only houses the cen- tral office apparatus , but also .provides quarters for a rest room and dining room for the operators and offices for the , district traffic manager. Making Riverhead the center of the Eastern I/Ong Island tol l syste m has been one of the biggest wire and cable jobs undertaken on Long Island for many years. It was necessary to re- arrange the toll lines from Patchogue , Kastport , Grcenport , Shelter Island , Southampto n , Southold , Quoguc, Say- ville , Flanders , Bellport , Bayport; in fact , from practically every central office in Eastern Long Island. One of the larger items was the building of about. fi!£ miles of new aerial cable line from Quogue \ t'> Riverhead. This one cable contains 184 pairs of wires or enoug h to reac h from Riverhead to the Panama Canal if it were installed as a single wire. When the local switchboard is in opera tion, subscribers will ' signal'-the operato r by lifting Hie receiver from ' the hook. This action per/nits th<t closing of an electrical circuit inside the telephone instrument and causes a tiny signal lamp, associated with that particular line to ligh t on the switch- board , and remain lighted unti l ihe operator answers the signal. Here are the few rules for using the new system as-outlined - by Mr;- Lightbody: 1 . To call Centra] , lift the receiver from the hook , and when the oi- ' -rator answers give the desired number in the usual way. '£. Do not hang up the receiver un- til you have finished talking, as hang- ing u,p the receiver si gnals the operator to disconnect your line. ! . ¦ ¦ 3. Be> sure to keep the receiver on the hook when the telephone is not in use. 4. If you wish to recall the- operator, move the receiver hook slowly up and down as far as it will go. Do not jiggle the ' hook rapidly as this fails to flash the signal to tho operator. Many persons will undoubtedly be late for church next Sunday morning unless they turn their clock ahead one hour when they retire this coming Saturday night , as daylight saving time goes into effect Sunday morning. The Long Island Railroad announces that the company will run its trains on the new time beginning Sunday morning. Southampton , Green port and other incorporated villages have adopted resolutions in favor of the new time again this season. Prac- tically all opposition to the new time seems to have disappeared on Eastern Long Island , it being real- ized that most of the residents are in favor of it. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BEGINS THIS SUNDAY On Saturday morning a car driven by Mrs. Julie M. Proskey. of Port Washington , struck and seriously injured little Beatrice Bogeth , a ten-year-old girl , from Brooklyn , who was spending the week-end with her aunt , Mrs. Wil- liam Jost , of East Main street , Patchogue. The accident occurred on East Main street near Bay avenue when the girl , who had been in a store , ran out from the store and dashed in front of the car. She was re- moved immediately to the Pat- chogue Hospital where examina- tion showed that she had been se- verely injured. There . , is a slight chance for recovery. Mrs. Pros- key, after examination by the po- lice, was not held.

William- J. Perry, one-legged - . man of Greenlawn , who was tried on the charge of grand larceny, second pi- degree. The ^larch grand jury re- tjitufcned six indictments agairst Perry Igjpn ' charges of stealing motor cars BEand in altering the motor numbers of BjH-hp stolen machines. Hp He was tried on the indictment gf which alleged that he stole a Ford 1^- touring car .from the highway near p-a ' moving picture theatre at Bay Shore last winter. Perry is believed Id be one of the members of a band i. of motor car thieves that have beer f operating on Long Island for the past — yea r or more. Nearly fifty stolen cars have 'been traced and many \ others were stolen. Perry is 38 years old and has a wife in New Jersey. - Miss .Uibula Wilson , 24 yea rs old , of-Huntington , a pretty, refined and stylishl y dressed young woman , who was arrested with Perry at a lodg ing house-in .He rkimer - street , \ Brooklyn , several fmonths ago , ami who ' later confessed that \ she had assisted Perry in stealing some of the cars , was the .princi pal witness against him at the triaL— ' - 'Miss-YWilson , whose - parents arc. \ respected . residents of Hunting- ton \ Station , stated ' on . the witness stand that she accompanied Perry to Bay. Shore in a Mash car , on the nigh t he-stole the ^ Ford.touring car and that ' he . drove that car heme and she drove the Nash back. She denied- she knew he -was stealing the Ford. Miss Wilsonj had been living with Perry at th p lodging house in Brook- - lyh for three weeks-when they-wore arrested. She stated tiiat she went with \him to.._ Brooklyn and stayed .„. there with him . because he . bad . threat- ened her. Perry first inet .th~ e \ young woman . last fall when ho purchased a cup of coffee - in the restaurant at Huntington Station conducted by - .Miss Wilson ' s mother. He visited the res- taurant frequentl y aftei that; pre- sented Miss Wilson with gifts and took her motoring nights after the restaurant was closed. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson objected' «to having their daughter associate with Perry, but apparertly. Perry had such control over the young woman that she wouldn ' t listen to her parents. Sven Hagstrom , of Huntington , who was arres ted in connection with. Perry ' s operations , and who also con- fessed , was a witness for the people at Perry ' s trial. He said Perry told him ho had altered the numbers of the motor on - the stolen Ford , which was owred by a Copiague man. A \Copiague \ name plate was found by officers in Perry ' s yard. Perry, did not lake the witness stand in his own defense. At the close of the pc^lc ' s case , Perry ' s attorney, Anton Weidmnnn , a very able Brooklyn attorney, moved to \have the complaint'dismissed on the ground that the only testimony show- ing-that the Ford, car-had been stolen by Perry had ibeen - given by Miss Wilson and Hagstrom; that if a crime had been committed that they were accomplices , and , that -accord- ing-to law , their testimony, without corroboration , could not be consid- ered. Judge Furman denied the mo- tion. On \Wedresday Hagstrom entered a plea of guilty to petit larceny and he will 'be sentenced at the special term of County court on May 4. Hag- ] stroin was indicted on the charge of criminall y receiving stolen property in the _ first degree and that is the one he pleadedjo- He and Perry were also . i' oiritly indicted on the charge of knowirgly -possessing & motor ve- hicle with altered identification marks , and also ior - . altering - identification \ marks on a motor vehicle.

Congressman Robert L. Bacon was the principal guest and speaker at \ luncheon given by the Round Table Club of Patchogue on Tuesday of this week. It was this club' s big meet- ing of the year. The Lions Clubs of Hempstead , Southampton , . East Hampton and Riverhead , the Rotary Clubs of Huntirgton and Bay Shore , and the Exchange Club of Baby lon , were all invited to be present. In his address , - Congressman Bacon gave it as his opinion that \the Sen- ate by its bent for defective tardiness , and its whimsical escapades , such as occurred in the last Congress , has weaned from itself much of the .pres- ti ge and power it formerl y enjoyed and ,, wielded. \\ . \The people; \ he de- clared; \ are once again looking to the House of Representatives for legisla- tive leadership and responsibilit y and for a sympathetic cooperation with the Executive, who has their confi- dence. \ \After all , \ he continued , \the House is the body consti tution - ally representative of the people , and as it has often been in the past it, iigain bids fair to become the domi- ¦ riant legislative body. \ I In speaking of the work of the last Congress , Mr. Bacon took issue with those who castigated it as a do-noth- ing Congress. \One needs a full ap- preciation of conditions and of the difficulties that incessantly spring up, where neither House has a working majority, to thoroughly appreciate whv such a 1 charge is baseless , \ he said. \The 68th Congress ' , \ he re- 1 minded his audience , \ without a real c Rcpublici' n maj ority and hampered -by the LaFollctte -adherents , enacted I . over 996 laws , an achievement sur- j passed b y no other Congress in our ,, history. \ In commenting on the rum- 1 ber of laws passed , Congressman Bacon pointed to the . tendency of de- manding Federal legislation on all conceivable subjects and gave warn- ing of the ultimate results that would flow from such practice. In conclud- ing hi* ' summary of the work of the last Congress hs pointed out that not- withstanding- the many difficulties it was besieged with that it had . suc- ceeded in reducing .the budget figures of ' the President by over $11 OTOiOOO , ' thus even going further than the bud- gc ' t along 'the linos of economy and - -r ' eduction- 'in governmental -experdi- ' tur\'* .

He was driving up Bayport avenue toward the Mon- tauk highway when the accident oc- curred , and although his car was com- pletely demolished , Mr. Barrio was only slightly injured . Eye-witnesses of the accident , Jotm Hodge and Eugene Amman , who rushed to the car after the crash , ex- pected to find the driver dead , but found , to their astonishment , that lis still lived.
